My doctor, black man, grew up in Baton Rouge, described racism in America:"people living in caves, their minds are caves, dark dangerous places. They don't ever go too far from the cave outside, and only with other cave dwellers. They don't want to know life can be
different."
The bubbles we live in are fierce. When I travel and speak across the country, to places like Montana & Wyoming & West Virginia... College students tell me that their parents or uncles HATE me. Their relatives see me as a dangerous threat. In that bubble, I’m an enemy.

Oh, they do. Missoulian comments were full of tinfoil hattters on an article about Mr. King speaking. I am so ashamed of them. They don't represent the Montana I grew up in.

Some folks are afraid to see the truth in themselves. That's not your fault or problem.

Pop the bubble. Change is made 1 generation at a time. Keep up the great work. All your hard work is noticed.

So I followed you a while ago; and while I didnt agree with some things you post. You aren’t a threat like physically but you are opening peoples eyes to problems that we turn a blind eye to and that’s why some fear you because you speak truth.

Don't stop. Eventually those people will be so few that their hatred will cast them on the side they wish to put others on.
